Example complaints

“Driving 75 MPH on the highway, the driver's visor fell into my line of sight, I wasn't using the visor as it was dark making it very hard to see. It's electric so it didn't fall all the way just into my line of vision. I had to hold it in place and move to the side of the road to safely attempt to fix it.”
NHTSA complaint #10896184, filed 2016-08, 110,000 miles“As I was driving, the driver side visor dislodged from its swivel point obstructing my view and distracted me from driving. Months later, the passenger side has done the same thing. Both now just hang from the wire connecting it to the lighting component. Very dangerous and scary!”
NHTSA complaint #10669808, filed 2015-01, 50,000 miles“While driving on the freeway, the driver's side sun visor suddenly fell down and blocked all visibility. The sun visor will no longer stay up and dangled above the steering wheel until I removed it. A cheap plastic part broke inside causing it to fall, startling me and nearly causing an accident.”
